Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Joyce's Investments: A Story for Girls" by Fannie E. Newberry is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Joyce Lavillotte, a young woman who inherits a significant fortune from her father and is determined to use her wealth for the betterment of a struggling community tied to her family's factory, the Early Glass Works. Against the backdrop of a patriarchal society, Joyce defies expectations, aiming not only to manage the factory but also to create a model town that addresses the needs of its inhabitants. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Joyce as she discusses her ambitious plans with her lawyer, Mr. Barrington, who is skeptical of her intentions. Joyce's passion shines through as she expresses her desire to build a better community, with schools and housing that foster comfort and cooperation among the workers. Her revolutionary ideas about co-operation and community transformation capture the reader's attention, hinting at the challenges she will face in her pursuit of social reform and her interactions with the residents of Littleton. This opening sets the stage for Joyce's journey in balancing her newfound power and responsibility as a young heiress seeking to make a meaningful impact.
